Ben (and maybe Ethan) Evaluate Your Taste In Music (soundtrack, metal)

A_Perfect_Sonnet · 02-03-2007, 11:52 PM

AFI (old) - More like "I'm Davey Havok and my muscles are too big for the pitch of my voice."FI. Too be honest, I've never really liked them that much.

The Acacia Strain

All That Remains - My brother likes them. I think they are okay.

And The Hero Fails

As Blood Runs Black

August Burns Red - A generic metalcore band I like. I like their hooks.

Authority Zero - Ew, I really hate white guys trying to do reggae type stuff.

Before Today

Ben Harper

Between The Buried And Me - Selkies, rawr. I dig.

Bleeding Through - Organ synths don't belong in metalcore. They just sound lame and out of place.

Blues Traveler - They are okay.

Brand New - I love the new album. Most of the old stuff is good too.

Bullet For My Valentine - ****ty ****.

Cake - Fun, but only average in my book.

Circle Takes The Square - As a follow up, I actually went on a date with Drew's cousin. This band is the ****.

Coheed And Cambria (old) - I like Second Stage Turbine Blade, the stuff that proceded it was too uh... ****ty.

Comeback Kid - I FOUND MY WAY OUT! *SLIDE JUNUNUNUNUN* Group chants, and a good hardcore band.

Converge - Br00tul. Awesome stuff.

Danzig - I don't care how much VH1 hates his albums, his being in the Misfits is enough for me to love him.

Darkest Hour - I have trouble getting into them, but they are good musicians.

Dave Matthews Band - I wish you could hear my vocal impersonation. They are bad.

Dead To Fall

Dimmu Borgir

Dragonforce - I don't care how fast you play scales, it doesn't make shredding any cooler.

End Of Eden

Every New Day

Every Time I Die - <3

The Fall Of Troy - Fantastic

Finch - This band really failed to make an impact on me. It was boring.

Folly

Haste The Day

Jack Johnson - Look at me, I palm mute bar chords and slap my guitar strings. Did I mention I'm a surfer? Whoa totally cool. Not.

Killswitch Engage - This is one of those bands that just shouldn't even try.

Led Zeppelin - I love all of their catchy, memorable riffs. They are a great band.

A Life Once Lost

Lower Definition

The Mars Volta - I really like a lot about this band, but they get too Floyd-like for me sometimes.

Metallica - Haha, they aren't very good.

Norma Jean - I like Cory better than the old guy. They are br00tal, in a mainstream sort of way. I dig.

The Offspring (old) - Eh, it's fun to listen to at parties, but I don't really think they are all that great.

A Perfect Circle - Better than Tool, Maynard isn't very good though.

Pink Floyd - I really hate this band, a lot.

Reel Big Fish - Ska/rock, uh.... it's listenable.

Saosin (Anthony Green era) - A bane on Anthony's career, the band sucks.

Shadows Fall - These guys got me into screaming music, props to them for their musical ability. I really don't know why they don't get a better vocalist though.

Social Distortion - If you could send me some albums, I really miss their CDs.

The Sounds Of Animals Fighting - Bleh. Yeah. Same as before.

Symphony X - Prog-rock, with an orchestra. Big whoop.

Thrice (old) - I don't see anything wrong with new Thrice, but if you are talking about Identity Crisis old, then they were kind of sloppy and underdeveloped. Otherwise, I love everything this band has done.

Thursday - I dig Full Collapse

Tool - Maynard is totally overrated.

Trigger My Nightmare

Trophy Scars - Alphabets.Alphabets is dumb, and Jerry is a jerk. I dig everything else about the band though.

Underminded

Underoath (old and new) - TOCS sucks.

Unearth - Ew, political metalcore/boring music.

Unwritten Law (old) - The acoustic album, Elva was it? was pretty good.

Circle Takes The Square - It was only one date with Drew's cousin, but we drank beer in someone's backyard and it was sketchy. We never talked again.

Pg. 99 - Suhweet.

Brand New - Awezum.

Hot Cross - Loads better than Saetia. Orly?Yarly.

1905 - As far as emo goes, I don't like them very much a'tall.

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You - Guud.

Say Anything - ...Is a Real Boy is one of the 5 cds that gets played when I'm in my car. They are fantastic.

mewithoutyou - So I recommended La Dispute to this kid who had a mewithoutyou shirt on, and he was like "DUDE THEY SUCK" and I had to tell him they were practically the same thing. I like both. Do you have any La Dispute albums by chance?

Parkway Drive

Minor Threat - Yeah, it was hardcore punk.

Fugazi - I think they are okay, but I haven't really gotten into them.

Jethro Tull - Hard rockin' piccolo. Nuff said.

The Kodan Armada - These guys are pure talent.

La Quiete - Greyskull = one of my favorite songs.

Rites of Spring - See Embrace.

Embrace - I feel as though I can group both of these bands together, and I have to credit them for basically creating emotional hardcore, but other than that, they are just okay in my book. I like Embrace better.

The Evens

Bad Brains

Light The Fuse And Run - He talks too much.

Louise Cyphre - Rool.

Belle Epoque - French emo is fantastic and this is no exception.

Bane - hXc, in the good way.

Shikari (NOT Enter Shikari)

Hiretsukan

Heroin - I like them, though I haven't listened in a long while.

Angel Hair - 1+1 = 2

Gospel - From what everyone else says, they are good. I haven't listened yet.

sleepy jack · 02-04-2007, 12:47 AM

The Evens - My least favorite Ian Mackaye band, still good though.

Bad Brains - A couple good songs, i've always prefered other 80s hardcore bands.

acratertocoffin · 02-04-2007, 12:48 AM

Actually I don't have any La Dispute but now I'm very interested. And I do hope you continue with the CTTS story for every entry.
It's Ian McKaye I can't say no.

once in a lifetime, I was quoting it.

TheBig3 · 02-04-2007, 01:01 AM

They should make a thread in which I rate how well you two rate other peoples music.

It would function as some sort of checked balance. I mean, these threads always meet the same fate...:

"****, i've run out of passionless, prefunctory reasonless slander to mock bands that I otherwise have no feelings about"

If you're going to do this, please do it correctly.

sleepy jack · 02-04-2007, 01:06 AM

Were giving our opinions on bands, if people don't want our opinions then they simply don't post. Its not that difficult.

Aside from that ben and I never run out of reasonless slander.
